Trying times for us all....

For those (like me) who happen to have been born in the 60's or later, we were fortunate not to have lived through the turmoil of the preceding half century. WW1, Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, WW2, food rationing - it's hard to imagine what life for previous generations that lived through most (or even all) of those times must have been like.

All told, we've had it pretty easy, at least in our little corner of the world. So whilst the Covid-19 pandemic may be the biggest issue many of us have faced in our lifetimes, it's all too easy to lose perspective.

…...but life goes on

That's not to say this thing isn't serious. It is very serious, and for some (possibly even many) it poses an existential threat. And who knows what will transpire in the coming weeks and months? Strange times indeed. Meanwhile, life goes on, and we all need to eat and drink and try to live life as "normally" as possible. 

And whilst life, health and safety are of paramount importance - and whilst I did consider taking the website down until this all (hopefully) blows over - I came to the conclusion that that would solve nothing..... and would deprive our customers of one of life's little pleasures - great wine!

Despatch schedule

Therefore, we are open for business and will remain so, for as long as long as the current Government guidelines allow. However, to ease the burden, and to minimise the number of times we have to visit our storage facility, we will be limiting despatch days to Mondays and Thursdays only. For most UK mainland orders, this will mean that deliveries will be made on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, deliveries to "Highlands and Islands" and Northern Ireland will (as always) take longer.
